About Anthony Elsetinow

I grew up and went to school on the east coast. After a vacation to California, I decided to make it my home. Since moving to California, we have been vacationing in Maui for about 12 years, and the very first time we knew we would live there someday. This condo is now our home away from home. We have two adorable toddlers. Before they were born, we engaged in a 10 year search for the perfect place to call home in Maui. But when our children were born and after seeing their love and enjoyment for Maui, and with an enchanted stroke of luck, i found our second home. we are anxious to share the aloha spirit with my guests, and hope that you will feel the magic I felt the very first time I stepped foot on the island. I hope our guests will feel the love our family has for our home.

Why Anthony Elsetinow chose Kihei

We began looking for a second home from the first time we set foot on Maui. We stayed in other parts of the island, including Napili and Kaanapali. We found Kihei to feel more like a family oriented paradise in a small beach resort town, located centrally allowing easy access to many points of interest. Our home is across Kihei Road from the ancient Koieie Fish Pond, and the Whale Sanctuary. We have an ocean view, that will only get better when the palm tree grows just a little bigger! We found that as return visitors, accessibility to the airport, shopping, dining, and other beaches, is very important to living in Maui.

What makes this Apartment unique

Kihei is a beach town that makes you feel welcoming. The locals are kind as are the beaches. You have a variety of places to eat, shop, or simply to enjoy taking long walks on beaches that are long and beautiful, such as sugar beach. Maui ocean center is just over 6 miles away. Our home provides you many options on the laid back island of maui.

We arrived to an UNBEARABLY HOT room, AC was not running. Was only given 2 towels/wash clothes to last an entire week. The welcome package we were to receive to get us started (soap, kleenex, toilet tissue, etc) was not in the room, and the trash had NOT been emptied. When we tried to watch TV the first night, there was no signal, and we did not have TV the entire week (Now I know, I did not come to Maui to watch TV, but it is nice to be able to see the weather or some news in the evening). So, we decided to watch a DVD, only to find out the DVD player was broken as well. The shower curtain was moldy, and the bath tub mat did not have any suction, and would slide all over the tub. After a few days, we also realized that there were a LOT of cars parking the resorts parking lot WITHOUT permits and we saw people walking from across the street to our lot to get their cars.

Nice place that is right across from the beach. There was mold on the shower curtain and the shower doesn’t stay hot for very long. The shower head doesn’t move at all either. It was descently clean but needs improvement. Looks like sand was just swept to the corners. The towels had a smell to them as well - as if they were in the washer sitting too long. The balcony needs to be cleaned as well for the next guest.

Great location, perfect access to the best beaches on the island. Groceries are near, town centers with some of the best food within 1 mile, and quiet complex. Everything you need for a perfect get away. The condo was perfect with full kitchen and California king. Breakfast on the Lana’i each morning was wonderful! Will definitely return!

This place looked great online but really it's all dirty and run down. Ceiling falling apart in areas and the bed is the worst to sleep on. Plus the place is tiny and hot. The air conditioning cant keep up and its roasting all the time. The tv has 10 channels that work and 9 of them are paid advertising so if you want to watch something it's a total waste. The walls have damage all over and I can see nobody maintains this place at all. My wife and I were very disappointed with this place. All the outdoor equipment is old and worn out so dont bother using it.

We found out on the last day a way better deal at a better resort and it's a night and day difference with everything including price and maintenance of the property. Very bad communication with the on call lady. Called for help and questions and never got a call back. Very disappointed with the experience here.

Owner's Response:

Aleksandr was difficult from the beginning and I should have anticipated an unfair review. He believed our on-island representative to be room service and was very rude. Demeaning others is unacceptable. Aleksandr has mistaken aloha for weakness with regard to his heir of superiority. The description of our property we believe to be accurate. This is where I stay with my family when we go to Maui. If Aleksandr had the issues noted in his review, other than wishing to haggle, he should have contacted me directly. It is fortunate for him that he located another place of his liking for his next vacation to Maui. It is unreasonable to believe that everyone will be 100% satisfied. However, Aleksandr's review is unfair and with harmful intentions.

Great location across the beach

The condo was perfect for what my boyfriend and I were looking for. Not too expensive, and in a great location in Kihei close to lots of beaches and restaurants. The condo also provided a lot of great beach stuff - chairs, mats, towels, cooler, etc. - that made our beach trips way more enjoyable. Overall, if you're not looking for anything fancy but need a cozy place to stay, I definitely recommend!
